All,
I apologize it has been such a long time since I last sent an update, but the old adage holds true… ’No news is good news’. ;)
Other than one post-transplant fever admit followed by a mysterious tiredness, Mark is doing great! All blood parts have grafted and hair is sprouting again! We have now begun rehab – going on walks, gym workouts, etc. He should begin the 4 week immune suppression withdraw soon, and we are preparing the paperwork for him to gradually return to school while being wary of a bad flu season, careful hand washing, etc. Some months from now we expect a surgery to remove the hickman catheter.
His is a story of the power of prayer – a perfect donor match, no complications, and a good attitude. We are forever indebted to you all. I am happy to say a slot should be ‘freed up’ on your prayer list! ;) (I, however, will daily give thanks for each cancer-free day and hope I never forget to appreciate them… ;)
‘Thank you’ is inadequate,
Krista McFerren (AKA Mark’s mom)
P.S. Family updates will continue to be posted here at www.scottandkrista.net
